Just palm trees here out my window of and a lovely looking sea. You should try it someday it might just get you to relax a little bit instead of combustion on here.😀
Did you refuse to wear a mask on the plane?

Are you refusing to go to any foreign shops, if they require you to wear a mask?

As for travelling abroad. Dear oh dear. I've spent my entire working life as a Travel Agent; for some of those years, in Argentina. I would imagine, with little doubt whatsoever, that I've been to places you haven't even heard of! :lol:

Maybe that is why Corbyn was brutalised
by the mail & others
Because he chose to stand against blairs backing to the invasion. Or it could be a hundred reasons why right hates left & vice versa

No freedom of speech in those Countries full time, not just now when the virus is here. For just one thing, your resentment about the Country you live in and non stop ranting online about the government would not be tolerated and a knock at your door to take you away for questioning would soon happen. You would not be able to live under the freedom of speech and harsh conditions in general that is a normal way of life in Countries like that. Lastly ageist and insulting comment you finished with, a last resort when online is to insult.

Freedumb of speech isnt all that.
You get a bunch of ars*h#les claiming sh*t like man made viruses etc.

Hate speech means you get arrested & can probably
get you put in jail .
Plenty of people in the U.K didnt even get knocks on there doors , troops & Special police would just steam in & drag Men or Women from there beds
Straight to a special court ( diplock) & put them in jail without a free & fair trial by there peers.

Some of the U.K seemed no different to Nazi Germany or even communist russia or china.
Some UK citizens were sent to the carribean as slaves in the 16th century, torture was practiced on some uk subjects that Saudia Arabia would have been embarrassed about as late as the 1980s .

You should have gone to Torquay, Devon instead.

From out of your window, you could have possibly seen the Sydney Opera House; the Hanging Gardens of Babylon; and herds of wilderbeest sweeping majestically. You can even ask for a discount if Krakatoa starts erupting.

Cornwall is a good call though.

As for 90 Countries.......seriously? That's more than me!

Or are you perhaps including programmes that you've watched on the National Geographic Channel?

Ha ha I've always been of the opinion the world is a big place and its good to see different cultures, lifestyles, cuisines etc. I'm not so much fan of going back to the same place twice, that's not to say I haven't either.

Safari is on my list of holidays to do. Right now there is zero chance of my family and I getting on a plane.

Cornwall as my wife's family are from there and we are visiting, socially distancing as well, not staying with them for obvious reasons.

Certainly very encouraging!

It would be superb if the UK was the leading force behind the vaccine, that would help mankind across the planet.

Where is NuneatonO?

Sir Jeremy Farrar said we should have locked down a week earlier than we did. Professor Whittey says we got it right.

So for months you’ve been banging on like a monotonous drone saying the government got it wrong, the government killed people. Here is the key number one scientist who I actually respect by the way says we got it right.

So what you gonna say now? Boris was right? The government was right? Or is Prof Whittey a fool?

However, Professor Chris Whitty acknowledged that “many of the problems we had came out of lack of testing capacity”, blaming failure to build up public health infrastructure in previous years for leaving Britain unprepared.


It seems that chris Witty has said what Nuneaton has said all along.
" Failure to build up health infrastructure for years".

Had this been built up , lockdown could have begun when they wanted
As it happened in prepared countries .
Leaders of the modern world like
Singapore, South Korea , New Zeland etc.

Is that right Thor? I should be bowing to the Tory Party Scum for getting the lockdown just right?

Errrrrr......what was the lockdown commencement date exactly; because even Matt Hancock doesn't seem to know.

Matt Hancock accused of 'ludicrous rewriting of history' over date of lockdown
The Health Secretary caused confusion by telling the Commons Science and Technology Committee that the "idea that lockdown was 'a date' is wrong"

Do you have a source for that? How could "they" possibly know that given that transmission can sometimes be from asymptomatic carriers?

Interesting research article showing how numbers of deaths from covid-19 compare to other causes of death, broken down by age range.

How have Covid-19 fatalities compared with other causes of death?

This is an example of a misleading Daily Mail headline claiming that, then saying something different in the text. The conclusion?Don't buy or trust the Daily Mail.
